I experienced something similar with my PM G5. It was the harddrive having a bad firmware version causing it to beachball for 2 minutes when waking from sleep.
At a later point in it's life, after ditching that harddrive, it started doing it again for some strange reason. (I used Tiger), but for a shorter time.

My MBP (winter/spring 07) wakes instantly (OK a few seconds) Tiger and Leopard. If Safe Sleep kicks in, you'll see a dimmed screen and a progress bar on the bottom.

Converted 07/2005.
